(In)Patiently Waiting
02.24.09 (12:47 am) [edit]"'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.'" Jeremiah 29:11
"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." Romans 8:28
Those are pretty basic theme verses for all of Christianity but I'm finding particular comfort in them tonight. I find myself so encredibily jealous of all the couples all around Greg and I that seem to have found a spot in their lives to just magically get married. That spot in ours isn't smiling and waving at us yet. Until that time starts jumping up and down in excitement like I probably will I'll just have to hand my hat on the above verses and try to be satisfied. That's a tall order. I better get to trying to fill it.

Patient is a virtue. I'm beginning to wonder if I'm virtuous. *humpf*

I've learned in life, by being contrary and suffering the consequences, that indeed waiting for what is best and what is God's good will is wise. So often I have a hunger for what I want, when I want, and thus manufacture the process to get there in a hurry. And I get burned. So often God's answer to my prayers is neither yes or no, but "wait". Finally, I'm willing to do so. And life is so much better! So, hang in there.
